G#m        B/F#            E
Richard of York: The Executive Branch
G#m         B/F#          E
Having some fun with the warm-up act

Chorus:
B                F#m               E
If that's what it takes to say goodnight
B                   F#m  E E7
Then that's what it takes

A four figure sum on a hotel notepad
A revelation or your money back

Chorus:
That's what it takes to say goodnight

    C#m                             E
Sometimes, I wrap my head around it all
       G#m9          B/F# E
And it makes perfect sense

Keep remindin' me that it ain't a race
When my invincible streak turns onto the final straight

Chorus:
If that's what it takes to say goodnight
Then that's what it takes
